Chicken Cutlets with Sundried Tomato Cream Sauce

The Mexican Cabbage Soup on Sunday always amazes me with how quickly it comes together. It's packed with cabbage and gets a little kick of heat from poblano and chipotle peppers. Plus, it makes loads, which means leftovers turn into yummy weekday lunches.

The Chicken Cutlets with Sun-Dried Tomato Cream Sauce, is a dinner I'm extra excited for this week. No wonder it's one of our most popular recipes—it's creamy, flavorful and thanks to thin-cut chicken cutlets, fast. I like serving it over spaghetti, orzo or zucchini noodles. The deliciousness doesn't stop there with the rest of the dinners including the Panko- & Parmesan-Crusted Baked Scallops, the Roasted Red Pepper, Spinach & Feta Penne Pasta, the Easy Italian Wedding Soup and the Salmon Tacos with Pineapple Salsa closing out the week. Yum!

Muffin-Tin Quiches with Smoked Cheddar & Potato

It's been awhile since I last used my muffin tin, so I'm putting it to work this weekend to make a batch of these satisfying Muffin-Tin Quiches with Smoked Cheddar & Potato. I love the addition of potatoes to these egg cups, which helps give them even more staying power.
